    When I was in grad school in Buffalo, I lived near the giraffe pens of the Buffalo Zoo on Amherst Street (if you’re familiar with Buffalo, you know exactly where this is). I used to park across the street from my apartment in Delaware Park, right near the zoo. One morning, I go to my car to go to work, and there’s a peacock. Not in the zoo, but just hanging out in the park. As soon as I got to work that morning, I called the zoo, thinking I’d be a hero for reporting a wild animal escape, and they were like, “Oh, yeah, thanks. He’s been getting out a lot because there’s a truck over there he likes. We’ll send someone out this afternoon to get him.”

    I learned 3 things:

    1. Peacock escapes are not uncommon.
    2. Peacocks like trucks.
    3. Peacock escapes do not require immediate action, in fact, if reported first thing in the morning, somebody might get around to retrieving him in the afternoon.

    I don’t like grave dancing. I kept silent when Kirk was killed out of respect for his family. I kept quiet yesterday out of respect for the Cheney family. But when they pull this shit, the gloves are off.

    First of all, although the first response was brilliant, it should have been, “Jesus tried to stop the BLEEDING, but forgot there was a hole in his hand.” It evokes better visuals, plus you could modify the statue to better represent his final moments.

    Eh, I had another one, but I think I need to workshop it a bit before it’s ready for prime-time. It’s about how a future generation might interpret this statue. There’s potential there, I think.

    That’s all I have for now. I’ll be back to mock this right-wing glurge further if I think of anything else.
